Mamelodi Sundowns fretting over the fitness of Themba Zwane

Mamelodi Sundowns assistant coach Manqoba Mngqithi is fretting over the fitness of midfielder Themba Zwane ahead of the all-important Caf Champions League first round second leg clash against Libyan side Ahli Benghazi at Loftus on Saturday.

Zwane’s last appearance was in the Champions League preliminary round match against Leones Vegetarianos on December 5.

He missed Sundowns’ Absa Premiership goalless draw against Baroka FC and the first leg encounter against Al-Ahli Benghazi.

“The only player who I can say is doubtful is Mshishi (Zwane) but we will see how he feels later in the week and take a decision.

“He is an important part of our system but we have other players who have stepped up to fill his place over the past few games he was not available‚” said Mngqithi‚ who is preparing the team in the absence of Pitso Mosimane.
